Draft Grade — Patriots
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA-
The Patriots turned the phones into found money: B+.

The Bryson Nesbit selection is the head-turner. The Patriots reached 80 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They banked enough surplus on Legette to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In pick 27 they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick34 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
A conviction pick on J.J. McCarthy at slot 34 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick66 Rnd3 Cooper DeJean
Fair-plus on Cooper DeJean, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick102 Rnd4 Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick165 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
A wild overpay on Kamal Hadden in No. 165, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit at the 223rd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
